Technology

Everywhere they look in the biological world, scientists and engineers are finding marvelous designs that inspire new technology. In fact, this conscious imitation of nature has opened a whole new field of science, called biomimicry.

When God gave man the directive to have dominion over the earth, a part of that includes gaining an understanding of God’s creation—so this knowledge can be used for God’s glory and man’s good. The Lord has allowed mankind to accumulate knowledge to develop the incredible technology we see today.

Can a robot’s software “evolve” to cope with physical changes, such as the addition of new features? Robert Gordon University engineer Christopher MacLeod and colleagues designed a robot that can adapt to changes by “mimicking biological evolution.”
